From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@huawei.com>
Subject: mm/page_isolation: guard against possible putback unisolated page

Isolating a free page in an isolated pageblock is expected to always work
as watermarks don't apply here.  But if __isolate_free_page() failed, due
to condition changes, the page will be left on the free list.  And the
page will be put back to free list again via __putback_isolated_page(). 
This may trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() on page->flags checking in
__free_one_page() if PageReported is set.  Or we will corrupt the free
list because list_add() will be called for pages already on another list. 
Add a VM_WARN_ON() to complain about this change.
